Wu Yong was quick in handling the hospital discharge paperwork and returned promptly.
At this time, Lin Tian also emerged from Zhang Ya’Er’s ward, bumping into Wu Yong.
Upon hearing that the discharge formalities were completed, Lin Tian instructed Wu Yong to escort the others back to Black Gold, while he returned to Liou Qingcheng’s ward.
Liou Qingcheng wasn’t fond of the hospital room. Upon hearing she could leave, her smile broadened. She didn’t need to pack much, just changed her clothes and left the hospital with Lin Tian.
As the two walked arm in arm toward the hospital entrance, an Audi A8 ahead honked twice. The window rolled down, and Miaoqiu poked her head out from the driver’s seat and shouted, "Over here!"
"Sister Miaoqiu? Why are you here?" Liou Qingcheng asked, somewhat surprised.
Miaoqiu grinned at Lin Tian before saying seriously, "Your husband was too worried about you and insisted I come to pick you up. Quickly get in the car; it’s hot outside."
Hearing Miaoqiu refer to Lin Tian as ’husband’, Liou Qingcheng’s face flushed slightly, but she did not refute. She took Lin Tian’s hand and sat in the back seat of the A8.
After getting in the car, Miaoqiu turned to scrutinize Liou Qingcheng and asked after observing closely, "How are you feeling now? Anything still uncomfortable?"
Liou Qingcheng leaned back in the soft seat and said, "Just my throat feels uncomfortable, not much appetite, but everything else is fine."
"No worries, your husband is a great cook; have him whip up something when you get back." Miaoqiu teased Liou Qingcheng again, raising her eyebrows a few times.
Liou Qingcheng leaned on Lin Tian’s shoulder, squinting with a smile. "Yes, I’ll have my husband make me a delicious meal when we get back."
Lin Tian kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile, "Alright, dear."
"Hiss." Miaoqiu gasped and joked, "You two are too much! I can’t stand watching you anymore."
...
Back in Bai Shishi’s villa, Lin Tian had no chance to cook.
The villa originally had only one nanny, but now the number has increased to three.
Two master chefs, one professional postpartum nanny, and one pregnancy nutritionist.
The two master chefs were hired by Miaoqiu, one specializing in northern cuisine, the other in southern cuisine. They might not cover all the dishes of the Celestial Dragon Continent, but they can prepare 80%-90% of them, and according to Miaoqiu, even their instant noodles have a special flavor. Anyway, it tastes good, that’s for sure.
So Lin Tian had no opportunity to cook, which allowed him to enjoy some leisure.
Due to Bai Shishi’s pregnancy, Bai Tianlong, who was traveling abroad, also flew back home.
After touring abroad, Bai Tianlong returned in a much better state than before, at least he smiled more.
This elderly man was still the same, loving to tease cats and walk dogs, and was much more carefree and cheerful than before.
When Lin Tian and the others returned home, Bai Tianlong had just returned too. He wasn’t out walking the dog but went to the community park for morning exercises, and some chess games.
Seeing Lin Tian, Liou Qingcheng, and Miaoqiu together, Bai Tianlong’s face didn’t show much of a reaction, but Lin Tian was sure he wasn’t pleased inside.
No wonder, seeing his daughter’s man accompanied by two beauties like flowers, how could any father-in-law be happy?
If it weren’t for Bai Shishi’s pregnancy, Bai Tianlong’s fiery temper might have driven them away.
Before Lin Tian could speak, Bai Tianlong spoke tersely, "Come over, have some tea."
"Alright." Lin Tian instinctively nodded and followed Bai Tianlong back to the tea table to sit down. As for Liou Qingcheng and Miaoqiu, they wisely didn’t follow, knowing the two men had things to discuss. Moreover, Liou Qingcheng also felt too awkward meeting Bai Shishi’s father here...
Sitting on one side of the U-shaped sofa, Lin Tian poured the boiling water into the Yixing teapot.
Whish~
Lin Tian’s tea-making skills hadn’t fully inherited Zhao Xuefeng’s expertise but looked somewhat authentic.
Bai Tianlong held a feather playing with a cat, still the Scottish Fold cat Lin Tian bought that had doubled in size from the last time he saw it, obviously enjoying good meals with its owner.
Only after Lin Tian placed a teacup in front of Bai Tianlong did he have the maid take the cat away and wiped his hands twice with wet wipes. Who could’ve guessed this rugged man had a hygiene obsession?
Taking a sip of the tea, Bai Tianlong said, "Not bad."
This was Bai Tianlong’s few words since saying ’come over, have some tea.’
Was it the tea that was not bad, the child in Bai Shishi’s belly, or Lin Tian’s conduct? A phrase with multiple meanings left Lin Tian unable to reply, just chuckling along.
"Do you recall what you promised me?" Bai Tianlong asked blandly.
A previous promise? Almost out of the blue, Lin Tian understood and nodded lightly, responding, "Of course, the first boy takes Shishi’s surname, Bai."
Bai Tianlong glanced a little more approvingly, his look satisfied, nodding twice, "I’m glad you remember."
After a pause, Bai Tianlong glanced around at other rooms, his tone unchanged as he asked, "How many women do you really have? I hope you’ll be honest."
"..." This question indeed stumped Lin Tian for a moment, quite awkward.
Bai Tianlong seemed unmoved, "Why so embarrassed? A man should own up. When I was young, I had far more than you."
This last sentence, though, shattered some awkwardness, bridging the gap somewhat. And he wasn’t wrong, a man should own up.
"Four." The two words jumped from Lin Tian’s mouth, then he followed up, "You’ve seen them, they all live here."
"..." Now it was Bai Tianlong’s turn to be speechless, this kid treating his villa as a harem. His embarrassment was evident, not knowing what to say.
"Just four?" Bai Tianlong still didn’t fully believe, seeing this kid’s apparently philandering demeanor, how could four possibly suffice?
Lin Tian nodded frequently, almost as if doing so could increase his believability.
"Four is fine, forty even. Now that Shishi is having a Lin family offspring, don’t you think you should do something?" Bai Tianlong leisurely sipped tea, but his gaze kept shifting to Lin Tian as though looking could read his mind.
"You mean, get married?" Lin Tian asked without showing emotion.
Bai Tianlong nodded as if it were obvious, "I know you’re not yet of legal marriage age, but that’s okay, you can have a wedding first."
Lin Tian was truly at a loss for words, able to refuse? Certainly not. Able to agree? Seems not either.
This pressure to marry, truly leaves one in a dilemma.
